Internet & email support


Set up email
Birch Email comes free-of-charge with Birch Internet service. Once you have activated your first email address and password you can view your messages through your existing email program (for example Outlook 2000, Outlook 2002, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail or Eudora). Our step-by-step email setup tutorials explain how to set up your email program to work with your Birch email service.

Birch also utilizes outbound limiting software to help ensure that our users are not spamming other systems, which in turn could result in the prevention of legitimate users' email in reaching external destinations.
